introduction + what the activity was | Today, I'd like to talk about this one time I went hiking, which was an absolutely exhilarating experience. |
|
when and where you did it | Now, I did this hike back in the fall, about two years ago. It was during that sweet spot when the leaves are all shades of red and gold. We set off early in the morning to catch the sunrise and spent the whole day immersed in nature. The location was about an hour's drive from my hometown, in the heart of the countryside, and it felt like stepping into a different world, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. |

and explain whether you enjoyed it or not | And did I enjoy it? Absolutely, yes! There's something about pushing your limits while surrounded by nature that's incredibly satisfying. Sure, it was physically demanding, but the laughter we shared and the tranquility of being atop a mountain made every aching muscle worth it. |
|
conclusion | Looking back, that hike was more than just a physical challenge; it was a day of bonding and unforgettable memories. It's one of those experiences that stick with you, you know? I'd go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat." |

IELTS Speaking Part 3 Sample
1. What outdoor activities do people in your country usually do?
Well people in my country generally love to get outdoors often, so there is a huge range of activities that people can do. People love to go hiking, surfing, camping, boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, running, rock climbing, having a picnic somewhere nice, and that’s just to name a few activities. We usually have a lot of good weather in my country, and a lot of beautiful nature to see, so spending time outdoors is a pretty normal thing for most people here. Even people that don’t like sport or exercising can still find something to do outdoors.
To get outdoors: ra ngoài trời.
Ví dụ: It’s good to get out doors.
That’s just to name a few: đó chỉ là một vài cái.
Ví dụ: We can visit museums, parks, exhibitions, and that just to name a few places.
Spending time outdoors: dành thời gian ngoài trời.
Ví dụ: He loves spending time outdoors.
A pretty normal thing: một điều khá bình thường.
Ví dụ: That is just a pretty normal thing.
2. Why do some people not like doing outdoor activities?
Well that’s hard to say really, but I guess there are generally two kinds of people from my experience; those that love the outdoors, and those that don’t. Some people just don’t like being outside, whether it’s because they don’t like exposing their skin to the sun, or because they are afraid of insects or animals, or something like that. I guess some people don’t like being exposed to the elements you know, like the wind, or the rain, or too much sunshine, or too cold temperatures. I think it depends on your childhood really, and whether you spent much time outside or not. I knew some kids once that lived in a big city and barely ever went outside, and they were petrified of going in the ocean. It was the most bizarre thing I had ever seen to see a teenager absolutely terrified of going in the ocean because he thought he would be bitten by a fish.
Exposing their skin to the sun: phơi da của họ dưới ánh nắng mặt trời.
Ví dụ: Exposing their skin to the sun can be good for them.
The most bizarre thing I had ever seen: điều kỳ lạ nhất tôi từng thấy.
Ví dụ: That is the most bizarre thing I had ever seen.
To be petrified (adj): vô cùng sợ hãi.
Ví dụ: Some people are petrified of doing extreme sports
Absolutely terrified: rất sợ hãi.
Ví dụ: I was absolutely terrified.
3. Do you think that outdoor activities are more beneficial than indoor activities?
No, not really. But I do think that they are beneficial in different ways. For example, outdoor activities are usually focused on doing something physical, like playing sports, or doing exercise of some kind. Whereas indoor activities quite often tend to be more focused on using your mind somehow, like playing board games, for instance. So, both indoor and outdoor activities can be beneficial in their own way, but they focus on different aspects, so I don’t think you can say that one is more or less beneficial than the other.
Doing something physical: làm một thứ gì đó mang tính thể chất.
Ví dụ: He loves doing something physical such as running or playing badminton.
Using your mind: sử dụng tâm trí của bạn.
Ví dụ: You can train your brain my playing sports requires using your mind such as chess.
Focus on different aspects: tập trung vào nhiều khía cạnh khác nhau.
Ví dụ: It’s good to focus on different aspects.
4. Why do some people like doing extreme sports?
Well, I think it's safe to say that the majority of people that do extreme sports, do it for the adrenaline rush. As someone who has dabbled in a few extreme sports myself, I can say that the buzz you get when riding down the side of a mountain at high speed on a mountain bike, or the feeling of jumping out of a plane with a parachute on your back is quite intense. Sometimes it's extremely scary in the moment, and you might even think you’re about to die, but afterwards when it’s all over and you’re safe and sound, that feeling of excitement is well worth the risk, and it can even last for days.
It's safe to say that (idiom): không quá để nói rằng.
Ví dụ: It’s safe to say that learning English is a key to success.
Dabbled in: tham gia, thử.
Ví dụ: She dabbled in arts a few years ago.
The buzz: tiếng vo vo.
Ví dụ: I can hear the buzz outside.
At high speed: tốc độ cao.
Ví dụ: She drove at high speed last night.
The feeling of: cảm giác.
Ví dụ: I have the feeling of sad after watching that movie.
In the moment: trong thời điểm này.
Ví dụ: You need to stay in the moment.
When it’s all over: khi kết thúc.
Ví dụ: When it’s all over, you will see.
Safe and sound: bình an vô sự.
Ví dụ: They are safe and sound.
Well worth the risk: đáng để mạo hiểm.
Ví dụ: Climbing mountains is exciting, it’s well worth the risk.
5. Do you think some extreme sports should be banned?
Câu trả lời mẫu:"Whether some extreme sports should be banned is a complex issue. On one hand, these activities can pose significant risks to participants, sometimes leading to serious injuries or even fatalities. From this perspective, regulating or banning certain extreme sports could be seen as a way to protect individuals. However, proponents argue that with proper training, safety measures, and regulations, the risks can be minimized. Banning extreme sports could also be viewed as an infringement on personal freedom and the right to choose one's own activities. Thus, a balanced approach focusing on safety, education, and informed consent might be more effective than outright bans.”
